Some are just slips of the tongue, some become unintentionally suggestive. Grammar often botches others, and some editors just state the plain obvious.
I can vouch for the Scottish headline, repeated in fact late last year when the mighty Caley Thistle came back from 0-2 down and playing with 10 men to beat Celtic 3-2. But spelling should be: Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic Are Atrocious.
rolig: there was a famous English goalkeeper called Seaman, which led to much gleeful commentry along the lines of "And Seaman's all over the place tonight!" or "so-and-so sticks it in the box, but it's covered by Seaman."
Hilarious headlines! I used to be the editor of a gay community newspaper in the 1990s in Baltimore, and once, as a laugh, wrote the following headline for a story about a man was was being kicked out of the US Navy but won his federal court appeal to stay in: Judge Blocks Discharge of Gay Seaman.
For anyone with a knowledge of Scottish fitba, Super Cally Go Ballistic, Celtic Are Atrocious, which I think was the Mirror, after Inverness Caledonian Thistle caused a big shock my knocking Celtic out of the cup.
How about 'pope can't swim'? A madeupical reflection on the negativity of the Press. This the day after the Pope took some Cardinals on a boat trip and when the boat got into difficulty he walked to the shore to get help.

So, it was a wedding?
He turned it into wine, rolig. What do you think?
He was a great keeper, bilby! A reliable prophylactic for his country, who only sprung the odd leak at the end of his long career.
I remember the big plonker. "Seaman comes out for the challenge but doesn't get there."

gangerh, did the Pope walk through the water or on it?
The infamous, unforgettable Small Earthquake in Chile, Not Many Dead from The Times.
Also, Maryland Parents Anxious About Sniper from salon.com is a bit special in its understatedness.

Or could it be 'chuck norris can't swim'?

Oh, you're not alone! :-)
Thanks! Though I am really stretching the meaning of 'word' here.
Haha! Great list, kewpid!
